im getting ready to do my first small batch refining of about 20 grams or so of material and i was hoping i can get some advice some of you wish you had gotten before you started ive done a fair amount of research but im still sure to experience some mishaps what should i look out for what are the absolutely dont do's and some helpful hints to get it done right and efficiently
my plan is simple at the moment.
calculate how much material i have and inquart it to 6k gold alloy using sterling silver.
dissolve silver and base metals with nitric acid boils until solution is clear
filter rinse and then use sulfuric acid to drop lead
filter rinse
do an aqua regia dissolve on the remaining gold sponge
filter and then precipitate and repeat aqua regia for a second refine.
